SEATTLE -- Certainly there will be excitement for Chris Ash leading Rutgers onto the field Saturday for the first time as a head coach.Yet Ash doesnt expect that to be the dominant emotion when the Scarlet Knights face No. 14 Washington to open the season.Exciting, I guess, would be a word that a lot of people would assume I would be. But its challenging, Ash said. And just trying to make sure we cross every `T and dot every `I. We just continue to coach these guys on every single detail as we continue to move forward.Undoubtedly, the opponent Ash faces to begin his first season as a head coach adds to that challenge.The Huskies have spent the offseason hearing all the talk about this being the year they jump from being a .500 program and back into the elite of the Pac-12, potentially contending for a conference title and Rose Bowl berth.Its the kind of gaudy expectations Washington coach Chris Petersen has wanted to tamp down but he understands its part of growing the Huskies program into a contender again.The parity, I think thats one of the beauties of college football. And to start the season with all those unknowns, that just evens things out, Petersen said. So this is going to be a tough, good, hard opening test for this team to see, OK, can we play one play at a time and put that play behind us and go.Here are other things to watch when the Huskies and Scarlet Knights meet for the first time.ENCORE, ENCORE: If Washington is to take the next step to the top of the Pac-12, it cant afford any sophomore slumps by quarterback Jake Browning or running back Myles Gaskin.Both were stars at times during their freshmen seasons, although Gaskin was more consistent than Browning. Gaskin rushed for 1,302 yards and 14 touchdowns, while Browning threw for 2,955 yards and 16 TDs.Browning has said his goal for this season is to improve on deep throws. The return of speedy wide receiver John Ross III from a knee injury that cost him the entire 2015 season should help.IN CHARGE: Quarterback Chris Lavino started 11 of 12 games last season for Rutgers but had to beat out TCU transfer Zach Allen for the starting job this season as the Scarlet Knights transition to more of a spread offense. Lavino completed 61 percent of his passes last season but threw for just 16 touchdowns and had 12 interceptions. He does have an experienced group of wide receivers with three of his top four pass catchers back from last season.PURPLE HAZE: Washington has the best secondary in the Pac-12, led by Budda Baker and Kevin King. It may have the best middle linebacker in the conference in junior Azeem Victor. There is little doubt the Huskies defense will be good.But can it be as good as last year when the Huskies led the conference by allowing just 18.8 points per game? Much of that will be determined by Washingtons pass rush and the ability to replace Travis Feeney and Cory Littleton, who combined for 14 sacks and 28 + tackles for loss last season. Watch for Joe Mathis to try to fill some of that void as a rush defensive end.IN THE MIDDLE: Defensive tackle Darius Hamilton was an honorable mention all-Big Ten selection in 2014 before missing 11 of 12 games last season due to a lower body injury. He was granted a medical redshirt and his return is a boost for Rutgers defensive line. Ash said that coaches will need to watch the number of plays Hamilton is in for.Hes going to start the game, and hes going to play as much as his body allows him to play, Ash said.SOUND THE SIREN: In four of its final six games last season, Washington topped the 40-point mark. Not all those points were scored by the offense as Washington had four special teams or defensive touchdowns in those four victories. But it was a sign of the Huskies offensive potency, which they hope can carry into this season.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Air Jordan 4 Sale Cheap . -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No. Air Jordan 4 Retro Discount . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J. http://www.airjordan4discount.com/ .

LOS ANGELES -- Lawyers for NBA star Derrick Rose and two friends accused of raping an incapacitated woman doubled down Wednesday on their assertions that the accuser willingly had sex with the trio, saying she performed sex acts on the men earlier that night at Roses mansion in Beverly Hills.In sharp contrast to the opening statement in the civil case from the womans lawyer who called the incident a classic gang rape, the defense described an August 2013 scene for jurors in Los Angeles federal court that sounded like a porn movie.They said the woman gave lap dances earlier under a sky full of stars by the side of Roses pool overlooking city lights, performed oral sex on Rose and had sex with his two friends before inviting them back to her apartment.There was no gang rape, attorney Mike Monico said. There was no rape at all.The womans lawyer said the story about her having sex earlier in the night was falsely concocted to try to show she was insatiable and wanted to have sex with the men later that night. He said the three got into her apartment in the early morning hours after she passed out from drinking and raped her while she faded in and out of consciousness.The plaintiff will tell you all three men were in the bedroom at the same time, attorney Waukeen McCoy said. Each of them took turns raping her, they dont even know who went first.As the incident was graphically described and jurors looked on with pained expressions, the 30-year-old woman leaned forward so her long dark hair covered her face and dabbed at her eyes with tissues.The Associated Press is not naming her because it generally doesnt identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault.The jury of six women and two men will have to decide if the accuser consented to sex or was too intoxicated from either alcohol or drugs to give consent.They will have to rely primarily on her word against that of Rose and the other two men, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton. There is no physical evidence because the woman was not examined byy a doctor afterward and did not report the rape to police for two years -- after filing the $21 million suit.ddddddddddddMcCoy said the woman was too embarrassed to initially report the incident.After sex, Rose took his condom, put it back in the wrapper and took it with him like he was never there, McCoy said.NBA players are instructed to flush their condoms down the toilet or take them so women cant use the sperm to impregnate themselves, Roses lawyer said.Rose, 28, was traded to the New York Knicks this season after spending his previous seven years in his native Chicago with the Bulls. Hes in the final year of a five-year deal that will pay him $21.3 million, almost identical to what the plaintiff is seeking.Its a sad effort to get a lottery hit, attorney Mark Baute said of the lawsuit.Rose, who was not in court after Tuesdays preseason opener in Houston but expected to be present Thursday, had shown no remorse and told New York Knicks President Phil Jackson that hed lost no sleep over the matter, McCoy said.The defense will focus on the many text messages the woman exchanged with Rose, whom she dated on and off for nearly two years. The lawyers said the messages showed she was lucid and not intoxicated after returning home from Roses mansion. They denied she was ever drugged.The two were split up when she texted Rose out of the blue the morning of Aug. 26 to say he makes her horny.Rose replied by asking what she was doing that night and suggested she bring a friend over for a threesome. She rejected that idea, but agreed to bring a friend over later for drinks.A clip from a deposition taken of Rose was played in which he was asked if there was anything in the text messages that led him to believe the plaintiff wanted to have sex with him and two friends that night.He said, No.In a later clip, he was asked if he understood what consent means.He also answered, No. Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
